  • Support design reviews, test planning, and manufacturability improvements.
  • Create and maintain bills of materials (BOMs) within the ERP system.
  • Convert legacy paper and 2D drawings into accurate 3D models and documentation.
  • Maintain drawing revisions and controlled engineering documentation.
  • Interpret customer specifications and translate requirements into actionable engineering and manufacturing information.
  • Work cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, and Quality to solve problems and improve processes.
  • Identify opportunities to improve product designs, manufacturability, and engineering processes.
